Jennifer Aniston's Instagram debut will always be remembered as the tsunami of followers threw the social media platform into a technical glitch. The Friends star posted a photo with all six actors to mark her debut. She has since posted a behind-the-scenes video lauding her “glitchy welcome”, an old childhood photo and another one from a photoshoot all with very interesting and quirky captions. Within 10 days of her Instagram debut, Jennifer Aniston is an influencer already.
